Flood needs water. The earth has a lot of seawater. This satisfies the first requirement.
Of course, there are other requirements. But, in the solar system, the earth is the only place allows a global flood.
Admit that first. This eliminates the statement: the global flood is impossible.
According to a "Oceanography", Paul Pinet, 1992, West publishing Company, all the seas and oceans combined contain 1.36 million km of water.
Taking the Mount Everest at 8 kilometers, and the Earth radius at 6371 km, the volume of the shell, to cover the entire water is given by:
V= 4/3 * Pi* (R-r)
Filling in the numbers give a required volume of water of 4083570535 km. That's more than 4 billion km. So your claim that there is plenty of water to cover the earth falls short.
Edit: I checked and double checked, the textbook above really says 1.3 million km. but at least two online sources say 1.3 billion km
Ocean's Depth and Volume Revealed | Live Science
Volumes of the World's Oceans from ETOPO1 | NCEI
That is still 4 times more than there is water on earth.

I am talking about the possibility of the global flood. I do not care about other noises. Do you agree that the global flood, at some time in the earth history, is a possibility?
No, you have to produce 4 billion cubic kilometer of extra water for that.

I guess you mean to flood the Himalayas?
It is not needed. There was no Himalayas.
Of course, silly me, floodists can declare a world and natural just as it suits them. A mount Everest that stands in the way, just declare the Himalays gone.

Nobody said the Himalayas is gone. I said it has not shown up yet.
As i said, floodists just build a world that suits them, detached from reality.
